Veterans Day breakfast in Montgomery County. Bob, what's going on out there? There. There's a bullfrog! Hey, come on. What's going on? Straighten up, everybody. Let's go. Second grade, give a wave. Come on. We are live. Blair Mill Elementary. It's Veterans Day, and everyone in the school had a chance to invite a veteran. Maybe it's a friend. Maybe it's a family. Maybe it's a neighbor, and we're going to treat them to breakfast. The second grade is going to perform. Some of the grades have made cards. We're going to have a veteran celebration on this Veterans Day. And look, this guy's got the best outfit of the day. Look at his red, white, and blue shorts. That's what I should have got, right? Let's hear it for second grade! Yay! Stay with us. Yeah, I love that. Getting underway, the students are coming in, as well as their invited veterans. We're going to say thank you when we come back. All right, Bob, is that a Veterans Day breakfast in Montgomery County? Here we go. Hey, gang. Yeah, Blair Mill Elementary School. We're getting ready. It's our Veterans Day here. And every one of the students had a chance to invite a veteran to school today. And the kindergarten class, look at them. They're ready to go. They're the big entertainment. We're going to sing and we're going to say thank you to all of our veterans when we come right back. In honor of Veterans Day today, a school in Montgomery County is inviting the service members to breakfast. I love when they do this one. Blair Mill, Bob. Yeah, we're Blair Mill Elementary School. This is a big day. Every one of the students had a chance to invite a veteran, maybe a friend, a family, a neighbor, to the veterans' breakfast. Swing the camera around, George. Everybody give a wave. There we go. Look at all the students and the veterans that are here today. We got a breakfast, but the big entertainment on the agenda today is the kindergarten class. They're going to sing. All right, Miss Christina, hit it. Here we go. Thank you. That's the message. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our veterans. Matt, the principal, this is a cool thing you do for the kids and for the adults. Yeah, we're glad you're all here to honor our veterans. They do so much for our country, for our students, and it's just a thrill to have everyone here celebrating them today. Now, I'm going to ask you, what's your first name? Charlie. Charlie, tell me about your service. Okay, I was drafted in 1966. And got released in 1972. You're the crossing guard out front. I am. I saw you waving me in when I got in here. Tell me about your golden whistle. Okay, yeah, this is from the military. I was an MP in the service, and that's the one I used when I was in service. Well, thank you for your service. And again, the whole room is filled up here with the students and their veterans. Maybe it's a family member. Maybe it is a neighbor. Where's Christina? Hey, Christina, come on up here. Christina. Yay, let's hear it for the kindergartners. Good job kids. You're a mom and you're also a home and school and you put this whole thing together. So tell me what's going to happen here today. So this morning we had kindergarten come in and they sang a song for all the veterans. The veterans get to spend some time with their students here at the school this morning. And I think it's just a really special morning. So we can say thank you to them for everything that they've done. I know first grade decorated the quilt in the background back there. Second grade colored some cards. Fourth grade colored some cards. And fifth grade even wrote some poems for them. Oh, wow. So we have a full day of entertainment lined up here. Hi, what's your first name? Alana. Hi, Alana. Who did you invite here today? My grandfather. This is grandpa right here? Yes, sir. Hey, Walter, tell me about your service. Well, I was Army. Warrant officer helicopter pilot for five years. Wow, okay. And... Was very glad to serve. Yeah. Yes, sir. Are you glad that Grandpa came with you today? Yeah. That's great. And again, on behalf of everybody, not only at Fox 29 watching now, but all of our viewing area, thank you to all the veterans. And that's what we're going to do here today. And I love it. Everybody had a chance to bring, again, a family member, a neighbor. All right, let me ask you, what's your name, sir? Phillip. Tell me about your service. I've been in for 16 years, working right now with ROTC down at St. Joseph. So you're currently? I'm doing the service, okay? Gosh, and who is this? Is this your dad? Yes. Isn't it cool to see dad in his uniform here today? Yes. Cool. Well, that's what we're going to do. We're saying thank you to all the veterans. What do you think of the entertainment so far? It's been great. It's been great. It's been great. Good job, kindergarten. Let's have a hand for the entertainment. And then back here, look, we set up a full breakfast for everybody. All right? So entertainment. We got juice. We got coffee. We got, oh, donuts from Yum Yum Donuts. They're good. We pulled out all the stops here. So everybody give a wave. Come on, everybody give a wave. And thank you. Thank you to all of our veterans here at Blair Mill Elementary and to our entire Fox 29 viewing audience. Back to you guys. We've got more entertainment. Come on, kindergarten. One more song. One more song. Keep it going. And we want to give a shout-out to George, who's holding the camera right now, the photographer. We thank you for your service. George is a veteran and has been active for many years. All right, we've got the thumbs-up. That's great. We're thinking of you, George.
